So there is one kind of sweet advantage that has come out of the LDR - we have started seriously discussing engagements. Like before when we were a CDR, it was always on the cards, but a lot further away.
He has always expressed his wish to have a family young. As someone who is a little bit more career minded this has always freaked me out. He wants kids at 25 and I won't care if I don't start til 30 lol. I'm sure we can compromise.
Anyway, so my way to deal with the distance and not having him around was to pretty much plan our wedding. Completely hypothetical and after we started discussing it started becoming less and less hypothetical.
Anyway, I'm 20 and he's 21 - I like the idea of 23-25 to be married. We have discussed getting my ring made in Thailand, cause you get really good diamonds and gold over there alot cheaper than Australia, plus we would get a holiday and there would be a lot of good memories associated with the story behind the ring.
I really don't like the idea of having a long engagement - to me engagement means you are planning a wedding. I personally don't think I would want to be engaged for more than two years. Too many of our friends are engaged to be engaged, and to me thats just not what its about. I have worn a promise ring on my other hand for 2-3 years and thats all I need until we actually start planning.
Anyway, long story short he's been talking about wanting to go to Thailand sometime late next year 2011, I'm thinking early 2012... so I would be 21... and if he does pop the question it will be engagement at 21 and wedding at 22-23?
Haha anyway this is my story
